Annual

Took Sebastian for his annual appointment today, albeit a bit late (this is what happens when your Dr. only works a couple of times/week). He was a champ as always and pleasantly surprised me by not even wincing when given his booster shot.

I was worried as to how he'd respond to the needle, as in the past I would just nurse him while he was given the needle. The answer I figured out, is sugar. Was given a lollipop before the needle and he didn't even notice it! Of course, his poor arm is a little tender now but with the help of some pain medication and boo-boo fish I'm hoping he'll be okay.

Anyways, our boy's stats are as follows:
Weight: 35lbs
Height: 43"

Life's an Hour Glass

Came across this song this evening and thought I'd post it here. I love it's playfulness and simple reminder to be present and in the moment... Something I try to do daily so that I won't miss all the little moments I have with Sebastian because I know I can't have them forever.

Fall Colours (pic heavy)

Just came back from a weekend getaway up north to enjoy the fall colours. Unfortunately, we were a little late to enjoy the fall foliage (mental note to self: go earlier in the season!) but the scenery was still beautiful. Sebastian really enjoyed having his Uncle Danny to entertain him along for the trek and it was great being in a place where Sebastian could be amused just by playing on the bunk beds in the one bedroom! While there we played outside, trekked along the Bruce Trail, drove up to Meaford to check out Grandma Lambe's pies and spent our evenings relaxing in front of a roaring fire. Overall, it was a nice weekend spent with family and we'll definitely be returning to this spot again!

No Tears!

This past Tuesday was officially Sebastian's first day of school without tears and now I can proudly say that he didn't cry today and thus, we can mark this as being his first week without tears! Let's hope we've reached the turning point!
